Typo: MSNBC correspondent accidentally reports on Twitter that ‘Obama’ killed
In an attempt to release the news of Osama bin Laden’s death quickly late Sunday night, MSNBC correspondent Norah O’Donnell accidentally reported on Twitter that “Obama” had been “killed” instead.
“Obama shot and killed,” Norah O’Donnell posted on Twitter, citing NBC Chief Pentagon Correspondent Jim Miklaszewski as her source.
It was announced Sunday that Osama Bin Laden, who orchestrated the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, was killed by American forces. President Obama addressed the nation to deliver the news around 11:30 PM EST.
O’Donnell later removed the post.

Norah, dahling.. just write OBAMA on the LEFT hand and OSAMA on the right hand. They’ll be right where you expect them to be next time you are confused. IT really works!

Give her a break. She was just distracted by that tingle up her leg when she thought about Obama.
had to laugh all day everyone mixing the names up. Rush, Savage don’t watch PMSNBC
Hey, it’s MSNBC. What do you expect, competency?
Actually, I’ve seen the same mistake 3 times now on Fox. Greta Van Sustren did it on her show tonight.
Not defending MSNBC on other things though!
Yes, the mouth and brain do not always work in unison.
But she was sending out a “tweet”, which is the written word. She could easily have proofread it first, but she did not, apparently. It is a 100% preventable error, not given to misfires of brain cells, as when speaking.
I’m sure that mistake has been made more than a few times today.
Giraldo made the Obama/Osama slip Sunday night. Peter King just did it on O’Reilly. Here’s a tip, folks….just call him “Bin Laden”!!!!
What u get Bimbo for dissing Palin…..HA HA HA!
Exactly. She has been the first to point out any perceived mistake Palin has made in the past few years. If Palin had done this, Norah would have been on Morning Joe with her cackling laugh pointing out her intellectual deficits. KARMA, baby.
Good Job Norah! LMFAO!—-Typical MSNBC BS. This will haunt you forever in your Jobbie Job Job. too damn funny
